Product Details
Volunteers can help to improve the quality of life for the children in a variety of homes, centres for disadvantaged children and disabled centres, where staff simply don't have time to provide the individual care and attention that the children require.
Our Care volunteers in Morocco are based in and around Rabat, an ancient but rapidly modernising city. Most volunteers work in centres for people with special needs or in support centres for disadvantaged children. Some of the children will have lived on the streets or come from very poor homes and have perhaps never attended school.
What will I doThere is a great deal you can do to contribute to the general care and support of the children. The work depends a lot on the ages of the children you are working with. Volunteering may involve:
- Assisting with the day-to-day practical care of the children
- Ensuring they get up on time
- Preparing their meals
- Playing games
- Organising activities and trips
- Offering the children the vital one-to-one attention which they crave
You may even find yourself assisting with ‘zoo therapy’ where disabled children have the chance to interact with and feed animals like rabbits and lambs. Or you may join a fun play scheme to teach the children circus skills! The older children often require help with homework, support with developing social and life skills and you may also find yourself teaching some basic English lessons.

User Comments:
Because of people like Asmaa and the great detail that they put into the work they do, Morocco was probably the most amazing experience of my life. From the crowded but eye opening streets of Rabat to the intricate Medina in Fez to even the ruins of a Roman town, everything about Morocco is amazing and foreign.
